Kidney exchange programmes in Europe. What is the status of Hungary? A summary of the first results of the ENCKEP (European Network for Collaboration on Kidney Exchange Programmes) COST Action

Patients with end-stage renal disease may exchange their willing, but incompatible donors among each other in centrally coordinated kidney exchange programmes. The aim of this writing is to summarise the results of the ENCKEP COST Action, and describe the lessons learned with regard to the plans for the Hungarian kidney exchange programme. The ENCKEP COST Action had several workshops since 2016 September, and its first working group conducted two surveys that they summarised in two handbooks; our description is based on these resources. There are already 10 national kidney exchange programmes in Europe, the oldest is in the Netherlands (operating since 2004) and the largest in the United Kingdom, where already more than 700 patients received a kidney through this programme in the last ten years. There are a number of countries with plans to start a kidney exchange programme, and international collaborations are also getting established in several regions. Kidney exchange programmes can significantly increase the opportunities of the kidney patients for getting living donor transplants, but for the successful operation of a kidney exchange programme the organisers have to resolve several medical, logistic, optimisation, ethical and legal issues.
